It offers different licensing types that allow you to extend the services to clients; it lets you look into device performance and optimization and helps apply best practices
What I like best about IDERA Uptime Infrastructure Monitor is that it offers different licensing types. Hence, it allows my organization to extend the services to clients and not just use the solution within the organization. My organization can leverage IDERA Uptime Infrastructure Monitor to learn more about how clients perform because the solution lets you monitor and optimize devices and apply best practices.
Michael Wenn - PeerSpot reviewer
CEO / Co-Founder at Aiops ltd
Offers comprehensive monitoring and tool consolidation but integration complexity needs improvement
There is room for improvement in the speed of setting up the service and integrating PowerPacks. Although these prebuilt features are great, there is considerable complexity in bringing them together to create a unified dashboard. Even with many good integrations and deep visibility, the implementation takes time, especially when it doesn't involve these integrations. While some other companies have easier APIs, using this solution demands significant expertise. It's challenging for new customers to implement independently. The implementation speed of non-PowerPack or non-out-of-the-box integrations should be improved. Additionally, the AI automation feature is not yet very rich due to resource constraints supporting a wide platform.

Pros

"Now with the features given through up.time we have over 300 + monitors constantly checking every environment that we have and also checking databases for errors."
"My organization can leverage IDERA Uptime Infrastructure Monitor to learn more about how clients perform because the solution lets you monitor and optimize devices and apply best practices."
"Customer Service: 5 stars! Excellent. Technical Support: 5 stars! Excellent."
"Easy to setup and begin monitoring."
"The customizable dashboard is my favorite feature because I have everything that matters to me in my role available immediately at sign on, and we can also customize a customer's dashboard view so that from analyst to C-level executive we can give the customer exactly what they want and need to see at sign on."
"The integration of ScienceLogic with our existing IT ecosystems has significantly benefited our organization, as all alerts now directly go to IBM Netcool and then to the ITSM tool, ServiceNow."
"The flexibility to support most technologies. The way ScienceLogic gathers data from multiple sources is vital to our customers. As we work with new customers (often with different technology requirements), ScienceLogic is flexible enough to support our clients’ varying network needs."
"Best feature of all is detailed monitoring of services, processes, ports and SSL certificates and or web content."
"The Power Packs that are available are amazing."
"I recommend ScienceLogic to other users."
"Since it is a SaaS-based product, the setup is not very difficult."
"We have received an ROI from the use of ScienceLogic, and we are getting better visibility and help on the platform."
 

Cons

"While you can restrict particular users to only see subsets of the reports, it isn't as easy as it could be."
"Maintenance windows need to be streamlined."
"What I want to improve in IDERA Uptime Infrastructure Monitor is the community aspect, where IDERA would provide customers with updates on functionalities, what comes next, what IDERA Uptime Infrastructure Monitor upgrades would be released, etc. I also want the sustainability of IDERA Uptime Infrastructure Monitor to improve."
"ScienceLogic does not have application monitoring. We definitely need something integrated within ScienceLogic to monitor applications so that we don't have to rely on monitoring tools to monitor other applications. At least the ones that are market leaders, such as SAP, Oracle, and others."
"They should add CLI command modes​ and scripts for high performance."
"From a performance perspective, it needs to improve a lot."
"If I were a small to medium business, I probably wouldn't choose this provider. It is a heavily configurable, heavyweight, and scalable IT solution for IT infrastructure monitoring."
"Error information doesn’t have a good information if something goes wrong while doing a device discovery (I tried this a while back- couldn’t be more specific)."
"I see room to do better in the network and SNMP trap processing."
"Integrating observability and APM monitoring into the overall portfolio would be beneficial."
"Turning it on was pretty straightforward but getting it configured was a Herculean task and a lot of work."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I'm based in Nigeria, and the conversion rate affects the pricing for IDERA Uptime Infrastructure Monitor, but globally, pricing is reasonable. I'm rating pricing for the solution seven on a scale of one to ten."
"The license of ScienceLogic is based on how many endpoints are used. The number of monitoring points you want to have."
"Its price could be lower, but for what you pay, you got a lot of value from its features and functionalities. Customers always want a discount or a cheaper solution."
"The solution is license-based. It's between $8 and $15, depending on what you need from the product."
"Decide what you want to monitor and only monitor those items. Absorb other elements as you grow."
"Plan for adding more to it. Once you see EM7 in action, you will want to keep adding systems to monitor."
"Pricing between the two is quiet large therefore you can save some money if you don't require to collect all info on each device."
"My company has an enterprise-level contract with ScienceLogic, so it is available to my organization at a good price."
"The pricing model for ScienceLogic could improve."
